Additionally, playing with the root partition and the partition that contains /boot (in this case they are the same) can very quickly render a system unbootable, as there are many potential places where configuration changes would be necessary, including the boot loader. Unless you have a strong attachment to the running instance, I strongly recommend backing up your data and starting with a fresh installation. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?
